The way to get rid of AOL is to state firm but token intent to cancel until the point that they offer you a month (or however long) free in order to try them out a bit longer. Then, take them up on that and call back in two weeks to cancel anyhow. It'll be very quick the second time around.

A couple of years back I did the free 30-days offer from AOL so that we would have Internet access at the beach. When I got home and tried to cancel, the phone call took me 45 minutes.

Fortunately I've now found a company that provides dialup for the week.

Actually it's pretty easy to cancel AOL. Just tell them you are leaving this country FOREVER. They will cancel it.

I fully agree. That's exactly how it worked with me. It's even better if when you call back the second time, their records show no account activity since you last called. It will be a short quick call and you will be cancelled on the spot.

Do you know an easy way to get rid of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormon missionaries before they wake up during weekends?
